NAS & SAN Storage

QNAP · Synology · iSCSI · Fibre Channel

Data is the lifeblood of your business. NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions provide centralised, redundant, high-performance storage that keeps your business running even when drives fail. We design, deploy, and maintain storage infrastructure for businesses of all sizes - from a simple 2-bay Synology in a small office to a multi-shelf enterprise SAN.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between NAS and SAN?

NAS provides file-level storage over a network (like a shared drive). SAN provides block-level storage, appearing as a local disk to servers - ideal for VMs and databases. We'll recommend the right one for your workload.

Can you migrate data from an existing server to a NAS?

Yes, we handle full data migrations with zero downtime using incremental sync, then a final cutover during a maintenance window.

What happens if a drive fails?

With proper RAID configuration, a single (or multiple) drive failure won't cause data loss. We configure hot-spare drives and automated email alerts so you know immediately if a drive shows signs of failure.

Can you set up automated offsite backup?

Yes, we configure replication to cloud storage (AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Azure Blob) or to a second physical site. Backups are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Why Lucky Logic

We don't just install a box and leave. We design for your growth, implement proper data protection, test failover, and document everything. Your data stays safe - that's non-negotiable.
